Michel, there are tons of this type of calls without offering a credible structure of engagement. They nurse only the good conscience of the callers and signers, and don’t make much difference, IMHO.

>A Call To Action
>The world is riveting toward a possible turning point and we hope that you are able to stand with us in this call to action
>  
>Hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, employed and unemployed, black and white, men and women, have come together in a continuing and lasting global unity, partaking in a dialogue of civilisations, faiths, cultures and peoples in consideration for the common good.  This global movement has risen in a thousand cities on six continents: from Tahrir Square to Alexandria and Tunisia; Rio de Janerio to Bogota; Santiago, Chile to Barcelona; Zuccotti Park to Oakland; Wall Street to St. Paul’s; Frankfurt to Brussels: Rome to Athens; Toronto to Vancouver, Chicago to Philadelphia, Sydney to Brisbane and more, rejecting neo-liberalism and its prevailing economic and business models, demanding a better, kinder and more humane world. 
> 
>The crises of ecological devastation and glaring social and economic inequality are pushing the planet to the brink of catastrophe.
> 
>We, the undersigned, co-authored the document noted below- A Call to Action- and sought the support of interested parties, by asking them to consider endorsing it. As the current global crises have clearly shown, the whole world is waking up to the value of co-creation and the harnessing of knowledge from diverse sources, disciplines, experience and expertise. We are gratified by the level of enthusiastic support for the Call. We also received wise arguments and sincere suggestions on how to make this more inclusive, so that many more can join and sign the petition. We have acknowledged these suggestions and have incorporated them into the Call to Action. The final document and the list of our endorsees are noted below. It goes without saying that we are most grateful for all your ongoing support. It is only when we work together that we may change the world for the better.
